Topics of this game:
- Sensor that measures fast changes in movement.
- Drone flight that is controlled by internal programming, rather than a person with radio control, that directs it where to fly.
- The common term used to describe UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Describes many types UAVs of different sizes and purposes.
- A self portrait or self video captured using a drone camera .
- Electrical interference caused by proximity to metal, magnets, powerlines, or cell towers.
- Agency that regulates civil aviation including drone pilots.
- Drone with a rigid wing that generates lift via aero and a small push propeller. Can travel greater distances with less power.
- Pilot flies drone by wearing goggles or watching a screen to see what the drone sees.
- The mount on a drone where a camera sits; usually enables the camera to move and stabilize along multiple axes.
- A system used to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.
- A space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth
- Sensor that measures drone’s rate of rotation on the and helps keep it balanced when in the air.
- A multirotor aircraft with 6 rotors; 3 that turn clockwise and 3 that turn counterclockwise.
- Uses several of the drone's sensors to detect changes in pitch, roll & yaw. Stabilizes and in some drones also prevents drift.
- The force that directly opposes the weight of an aircraft and holds the aircraft in the air.
- Powerful, lighter weight batteries found in most drones.
- For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
- A multirotor aircraft with eight propellers.
- Moves the drone on its side axis so it would tilt it up and down from front to back. (analogy: nodding your head up and down
- The force that moves something forward
- A drone with four rotors
- Moves the drone on the long axis, causing tilt left or right. (analogy: moving your ears towards your shoulders)
- The force that causes an aircraft to move forward.
- Commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew or passengers on board.
- Crew member trained to monitor and maintain visual contact with a UAV to ensure safety.
- A set of coordinates that define a point in space; used to create flight path for drones.
- Moves the drone around in a clockwise/counterclockwise rotation level to ground. Changes drone’s direction. Analogy: shaking head to say "no"
